I think they all to it to some degree.
Some bandaids are heavier bar ends.
and for actual handel bars I think there is a product called Bar snake, which fills the hollow bars, I have never tried either.

I do use a cramp buster on my cruiser for long rides, it also worked well on my Bandit.

You will likely find typical cruising speeds to be the worst.
70 to 80 try staying out of that range.
Perhaps even a gear change to move to a different RPM range at cruising speeds Up or Down, just to out of the most buzzy area when crusing.

I have the problem and for me it's all related to positioning. It helps tucking elbows in (similar to doing tricep extensions) and adjusting your hand so that you make sure your pinkies are making good contact with the grips evens out the pressure across the hand. When cruising, my hands are relaxed on the handlebars, not gripping them tightly (ie, not holding onto the bike with the handlebars, but with my core muscles / legs).

Doing the "elbows on the knees" does mostly the same thing, but I dont like to ride in that position so much, unless on the highway as it magnifies road bumps and causes my feet to burn where they contact the footpegs after about 5-10 minutes (which also causes me to adjust my feet frequently).

Also make sure you aren't getting out of position when braking, as it's easy to want to lock your arms when slowing down. Keeping my knees tucked into the bike helps use core muscles during braking, taking some of the force off the arms/handlebars.
